Praise
Sometimes Sager’s shifting of expectations on the breaks surprises and pleases and multiplies meanings; sometimes it makes reading an activity of suspicion and manipulation and makes you feel suckered. At its best, it does both simultaneously. Sager enacts the fact that the poetic line can take you from anywhere to anywhere else, and the artifice of his structures becomes more the point than his lyricism.
